nor n CAPITAL.

with regard to the corners and pools
a learned contemporary says that spccu-
lators making ring combinations can con-
troll the market so that the relation be-
tween the cost Of production and the
market Is such as to kill small operators.
There lisa big principle in this which Is
represented by the difference between a
small interest on a million and a big in"
terest on one hundred dollars.
The small operator represents the big
interest on a small capital, and the ring
represents the small interest in the mil
lion, but the difference is that the small
operator has to get cash, and the big
operator can. negotiate a loan, which
only costs him the Interest on a manufac-
tured idea, which he materializes into
capital by a banking operation.
How are we to remedy all this?
Plainly, by finding the just relations be-
tween labor and capital. Mark you, not
manual labor, but all sorts of labor.
When we get to a clear understanding on
this, we will ascertain the comparative
value of the capital and the labor, whether
the latter be a clerks bookkeeping or a
%puddler's daily toll.
The French economists discovered the
great principle that capital was entitled
to a certain interest, and labor to the
price of its work, but that the organizer
of a business was entitled to pay for his
skill and brains.
Now, if you bear this in mind, it matters
not whether the capitalist is the manager
of the business, or whether he borrows
the capital. 1t matters not whether the
laborer is only a laborer, or whether he
organizes a concern and borrows the
capital. The capital, the labor, and the
organizing management each have their
function and their profits.

The Herald cites the example Of a ship
of the British merchant service that has
stood a tremendous gale and can do any
thing that a regular war-ship could do if
she has the armament. The argument is
that we can nave merchant ships capable
of acting as men-of-war. The HerdldS
idea is worth the serious consideration of
Congress.
1.-THE Government can subsidize ships i n
the merchant marine that can act as war
vessels in case of need, of course it
would be a stroke of craftsmanship to
adopt that idea. If the municipalities all
over the country can maintain a disci-
plined police that can be relied on as a
military force in case Of trouble, the same
principle applies.
The advantage Is SO great that the idea
of the Herald gives a lead that should be
followed.

OF TAXES.

One of the great things in tax and
tariff legislation is to ascertain exactly
what a tax is and where it lays. Both
houses of Congress must be in favor Of
reduction Of taxes; but one set Of states
men 90 for abolishing the internal reve-
nue. system as a purely war measure; and
another set go for abolishing it 10 as to
render the protective tariff system
necessary still. 1t is understood that Mr..
Randall favors the abolition Of the
tobacco tax, the tax on alcohol to be used
in the arts and sciences, the tax on fruited
brandy, and a reduction of the tax on a
number of articles embraced in cur
present tariff. Mr.. Carlisle is on record
as favoring such a proposition, or a good
part Of it, and a majority Of the Repub-
licans would also support such a
measure.
The Democratic platform calls for
tariff reform, and the sensible opinion of
the country is against the internal rev.
enue system.
Now, is it possible that Congress will
make the short session the excuse for
lodging the whole thing?

Mr.. Atkinson, in the Century, explains
by a long array of comparisons, that
America is better off than any other land
at any other time. Already Mr.. Akin
son has gone far enough to that the
United States enjoys, as a whole, a more
advantageous system of things than any
other country, but if he did not expect to
point out how that system could still be
greatly bettered he would scarcely go on
with his work.
The next time Mr.. Atkinson performs
ne will give us something still better.

The senatorsbin contest in New Yorl

The s~enatorship contest in New York
is exciting unusual interest throughout
the country. Both Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Morton are developing such equal
strength that to forecast the result of the
struggle would be folly. The friends
of each are absolutely sure of winning,
and we must wait till the clouds roll by
before we can count the dead.
But in such a sharp contest there is
generally a concealed candidate in the
background, and the present occasion is
no exception. Perhaps the dark horse
will win.

The American Free-Trade League says
that Mr.. Morrison should repeat his mo-
ton for the consideration of tariff reform,
and cause it to be clearly understood
that opportunity will be offered for the
division of the bill proposed in commit
tee of the whole, and for the considera-
ton of separate measures of revenue re-
form as separate bills in the House. The
League sustains this appeal by arguments
that are sufficiently familiar, and that are
unanswerable. But all the same, the bills
will be p~igeon-holed.

TAKING HIS TURN.


How . Great Animal Painter Was ecolded
by His Father.
It is an irreverent impulse of the youthful
soul to yield to wicked glee when an older
person is taken to task by some one who has
q right to scold him. An instance of this
nature comes from the English life school of
the Royal Academy, which was devoted to
the study Of the human figure from models.
Some one of the Royal Academicians always
sat with the. pupils the prescribed two hours,
rarely drawing, oftener reading.
and as he sat busily reading, very old gen.
tleman in list and slippers, with an ear
trumpet under his arm, shuff1ed into the
school. This was John Landseer, the father
ofSir Edwin. His son, book in hand, rose
to meet him.
.'You are not drawing hen; why don't
you drawF" said the old gentleman in q loud
voice.
"Don't feel inclined" shouted the son
down the trumpet.
'Then you ought to feel inclined. That's
q fine figure; get out your paper and draw"
"Haven't Eot any psper," |" shouted 4. the son.
"Oliver Twistw in voice loud enough to
us It about art p
"No; It's about Oliver Twist"
"Let me look ct II. Ha It's some Of
Dickens nonsense. zee. You'd much better
draw than waste your time on such stuff as
that"
BY the time the conversation had con-
cluded, the son, to the delight Of his pupils,
was exceedingly hot and uncomfortable
